>> Today is the 15th anniversary of Echo and my meeting at GDB San
>> Rafael.
>> She's not the cute, wiggly pup she was then, but she's a lovely
>> girl in a
>> different way now. I can't say she's going strong, but she
>> still does what
>> she wants to do and she's not ready to go just yet.
>> When we met, she would roll over at any excuse. I remember
>> waiting in line
>> to go in to the dining room and giving Echo a belly rub. Her
>> trainer said,
>> when they first started training her, they had to be careful how they
>> praised her, or she'd flop over in the middle of the sidewalk or
>> street!She had a power tail that wagged all the time. I used to
>> think it was
>> connected to her heart, and when it stopped, so would she. But no.
>> Her back end has gotten weak, so she can't wag like she used
>> to, but she
>> still waves her tail a bit. It's harder to tell when she's
>> happy than it
>> used to be, but I think she is still happy to be around.
>> So here's to 15 years of Echotude.
